How her approaches work in online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and following what the client finds most important. In an online session this means the therapist asks open questions, reflects what she hears, and tailors each meeting to immediate concerns like stress, parenting strain, or ADHD-related challenges.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. Online CBT sessions often include short exercises, thought records, and practical experiments to try between meetings to improve sleep, reduce anxiety, or change routine patterns.

Motivational Interviewing helps people find their own reasons to change. This approach uses focused conversation to strengthen motivation for steps such as reducing addictive behaviors, improving self-care when dealing with chronic illness, or starting a new routine.

Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods that fit a client's needs, and adjust plans as progress is made. Clients are invited to give feedback so sessions stay useful and relevant.

Online options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls are good for face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat can be a shorter check-in, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These formats make it easier to fit counseling around work, caregiving, and daily life.
